SallyAnne, your location says geordieland, but don't you live in mackemland now?

With a mackem?

[SallyAnne]

Huh?! I must be an old fart too - I thought they were still called Koala bears.

Well <in my finest spod voice> Koala is actually aboriginal for bear! So calling it a Koala bear is actually like calling it a bear bear.

Much like when people saying UAT Testing, or ERD Diagrams.

HTH

Yes, I do live in Mackemland. But I dont want it associated with me on my username details ffs!!!

I'm a newcastle lass - I've just taken a temporary wrong turn is all. It shoudln't be held against me.

When I interview a software engineer, I know he can do the job. I'm interviewing him to see if I want him to do the job!

I bet that makes you feel very important. Do you also check their finger nails are clean?

No, he checks the handshake.

No, he checks the handshake.

You can't prove a thing.

As a Mason, would you employ a woman over one of your fellow "boys" Churchy? Would the order of hire be: -

1) fellow mason
2) bloke
3) woman

or
1) fellow mason
2) bloke/woman (depending on who's best)

or
mason/bloke/woman (depending on who's best)

Go on, be honest.

I personally dont think there's anything wrong with people looking after their own, I'd just be interested to know.

And would you HAVE to employ someone who pressed a higher knuckle than you (or however it is yous do it?)

SallyAnne, I wouldn't employ anyone who couldn't do the job and I feel wouldn't fit into the team.

No I don't HAVE to employ anyone who was higher up than me.

The chances are that I would only find out that someone was a mason *after* they joined the company.

Ah I hate it when people call me by my full name - I feel like I'm getting told off!

I am genuinely suprised by that like - I thought people would be able to pull strings. Obviously you wouldn't employ some nugget off the street just cause he was a mason, or a high up mason's son...but I'd have thought it would have lent some weight to it. Else what's the point?!

SA, the *point* is the fact that I enjoy Freemasonry and all it entails.
